Last month, at a hotel in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, a 36-year-old woman was found dying in a compression bag like a 36-year-old woman. (22) was arrested on suspicion of murder.

According to the investigation so far, Suspect Kitajima recruited suicide applicants on Twitter, exchanged messages with women who responded to it, and suspected that he was killed on the day he met for the first time. It seems that he had exchanged with a teenage girl and made a promise to meet.

In a later investigation, it was found in an interview with investigators that Kitajima stated that he was interacting with multiple people in addition to women and girls on Twitter.

Kitajima suspects that a woman was killed at a hotel in Ikebukuro, saying that he was "requested by a woman," and is expected to be criminalized on the 9th, the detention deadline.

Belonging to the University Theater Club Multiple SNS accounts

Kitajima belonged to the theater department of Daito Bunka University and was in charge of production and screenwriting, as well as participating in the stage of another theater company.

A man from the theater company that Kitajima had co-starred said, “I didn't start talking very much in silence, but I felt the enthusiasm for the theater, such as seriously reading the script and making a role. "

Also, according to multiple parties, it seems that Suspect Kitajima started using Twitter in January of last year and used multiple accounts.

In an account that seems to have been posted about theater relations, on August 27th, “I want to stand on the stage” and “I want to live on the theater” spelled the thoughts about theatrical activities, and last month 10 days before the incident 10 The day said, “I forgot, but I was a college student, the holidays are over, the lecture starts.”

On the other hand, in an account that seems to have kept the emotions of everyday life, I really want to stop saying that I want to die even if I do not want to die seriously just on August 4th. I had to post it. "

He wrote a suicide-themed theater

Some theatrical screenplays that were thought to have been written during the university's drama club were also based on the theme of “suicide”.

The screenplay named “Summer Time Record” is a story about a high school student who died in an accident returning to the world to meet his best friend who became a novelist.

However, a close friend who is pessimistic about the future as a novelist tries to try to commit suicide by stopping the high school student's restraint, and if you want to die so much, let's die in front of you, and hold your own body Tell them to pierce.

In the end, my best friend stopped thinking of suicide, and high school students ended up analyzing “feeling they wanted to commit suicide” as “I really wanted you to stop it”.

"A similar incident has happened again"

Prof. Yasushi Sugihara of Kyoto University, a director of the “National SNS Counseling Council”, pointed out that this case has the same composition as the Zama case in which nine people who met at SNS were killed one after another.

Prof. Sugihara said, “A person who feels weak and wants to die sends it on SNS, and a malicious person approaches to use his feelings. It happened in Zama two years ago. I felt the same pattern as the incident and the same incident happened again. "

In addition, “Young people avoid confusing their feelings to avoid putting a burden on close people, and they publish by SNS. People in such a state have a sense of loneliness and are gentle even for those who approach maliciously. “It is easy to rely on someone who speaks. Open SNS makes you realize that someone is strange, but if you use a message function that can be exchanged individually, you will not be able to see from the surroundings.”

“This incident is not wrong at the present moment. It is necessary to expand the consultation desk for those who need support and to continue to strengthen the Internet patrol,” he said. I should go.
